[QUOTE="Mil T, post: 287225, member: 2727"] Ok. So now I know the clock SPRING can cause problems with the computer. I have been driving mine with the Hill Decent Fault, TPMS Fault, the squiggly car light. Sometimes the parking brake light, sometimes the Door Ajar light flashing at me with the chime. The Nav, AC, Radio, Climate control completely cuts out. I ran diagnostic with my tuner from 5star and no DTS's came up. I took the various bezels off around the steering wheel to see if there was something loose or disconnected wires. I took all the connectors apart and replugged them back into their locations. Someone said these trucks are all the same as 150's. NOT. The steering wheel does not have the 4 screws on the back to release the airbag. I can't figure out yet how the airbag comes off to get to the steering wheel nut so I can get to the clock spring.ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE AIRBAG OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. When I drive it, I can make a left turn and all of the above faults etc. start. When I make a right turn everything starts working again. I have driven around in figure eights to make sure I'm seeing what I'm seeing. Yesterday. I got in the truck one time and started driving home. Everything worked fine all the way home. Right and left turn. I thought maybe from messing with wires etc. it cleared itself. NOPE. Today it started doing it again. I am thinking that the clock spring is the problem. At least it is somewhat inexpensive, under $100 to try. This has been frustrating to say the least. I do not trust our small ford dealer as I did have them do warranty work when I got the truck with 35K miles. They had never worked on a Raptor. Now it's 38K miles so I have to fix myself. I don't want to give my truck to someone that is going to learn how to work on them on my dime. I'm willing to take it to a dealer but I have to take it down to the Phoenix area. I don't know what dealers that have mechanics that have experience with the electronics etc. on the Raptor. Anyone have any suggestions. I'm thinking that if I get this fixed by having everyone halp here then There may be a lot more that will be able to do their own repairs like this. There's going to be a lot of trucks getting past that warranty period with the trucks getting to be 3+ years old. Thanks, Mil T [/QUOTE]
